Most of the chairs in the LA Times article are more than $600! Aren't there any comfortable, stylish, and affordable chairs out there (besides the one you can't wear shorts to sit in)? Any suggestions, anyone?

What's up with the chair model? She's making me wonder if that chair has some hidden vibrate feature.
She also makes me think of the episode of the Office where Michael Scott seeks out the chair model in a catalogue. Michael would definitely go for her.
